CHANCE Auto-Ranging Voltage Indicator (ARVI), Full Range 600V – 500kV

Full Range (600V to 500kV) Auto-Ranging Voltage Indicator for Distribution and Transmission voltage ranges.

• Auto-ranging function eliminates need for selector switches across different voltage ranges.
• Large display activates each red light in sequence then holds light on for the phase-to-phase voltage class detected.
• Energy-saving Sleep mode automatically conserves the battery.

CHANCE Auto-Ranging Voltage Indicator (ARVI), Full Range 600V – 500kV

Bright display lights indicate voltage class

This smart new-generation instrument makes hot-line voltage testing easier than ever. Its state-of-the-art electronics eliminate the need for a selector switch. Its automatic-ranging function quickly displays the approximate phase-to-phase voltage class. It provides an easy, reliable means for the operator to determine if a line is:

a) De-energized, or
b) Carrying less than normal system voltage from any source or induced voltage from an adjacent live circuit,
or
c) Energized at full system voltage.
Simple to operate, the Auto-Ranging Voltage Indicator attaches to an Epoxiglas® insulating universal hot stick of appropriate length to maintain proper OSHA working clearances. A single push button activates the instrument, then a single light indicates either Power On (by glowing solid) or Low Battery (by blinking). With a good battery condition, the instrument performs a confirming self-test by illuminating each of the 12 indicator lights in series while emitting an alternating audible signal. Then the probe can be brought into contact with the conductor. It automatically begins detecting at approximately 100V and holds the display of one of these phase-to-phase voltage classes: 600V, 4kV, 15kV, 25kV, 35kV, 69kV, 115kV, 161kV, 230kV, 345kV or 500kV. The audible signal begins as a slow beeping that becomes faster as the reading is increased. When not in use, the unit’s energy-saving Sleep mode automatically conserves the battery

This model adapts to both overhead lines as well as URD circuits with 200 and 600 Amp elbows, including those with and without capacitance test-points. Interchangeable probes and adapters just thread into the ARVI end fitting and test point (T.P.) setting appropriate to each application. Furnished owner’s manual illustrates operating details for all models.

• Auto-ranging function eliminates need for selector switches across different voltage ranges.
• Large display activates each red light in sequence then holds light on for the phase-to-phase voltage class detected.
• Energy-saving Sleep mode automatically conserves the battery.

Includes the tester unit, a shepherd hook probe, a straight probe, instruction manual, and hard shell padded case
